Last Saturday both JB and I had to drive to Daventry to pick up daughter and her brood.
JB followed me.
When we got back he said one of my brake lights was out.
Went to Halfords tonight. Paid £3 for a couple of bulbs and £8 to get them to fit it
D’oh!!!

Eight quid? Are you your father's daughter or not? Ok, it's not as simple as the olden days when you could see the screws to take the light cover off, but three minutes with a YouTube video and you've saved almost two pints of beer.

He had to take the boot cover off the side, take the whole light fitting off, THEN unclip it, THEN unscrew it, THEN change the bulb! Worth it!!

He had to take the boot cover off the side, take the whole light fitting off, THEN unclip it, THEN unscrew it, THEN change the bulb! Worth it!! Brake light bulbs are reasonably straightforward on my motor, but headlights have to be inserted by lying on the floor, opening a trapdoor in the wheel arch, inserting your hand through said trap door, and then fiddling about blindly above your head for 15 minutes or more to remove the old bulb and insert the new. That's not me, by the way - that's the bloke at Halfords. There is no way on Earth that I could manage that, no matter what time limit I was working to. I'd pay a lot more than £8 for someone else to do that, I can assure you.
